A/N Prompt for this chapter was Memories, Childhood, and Muggle Medicine
Summer ended and eleven year old Jennifer Potter was nervous about going to Hogwarts the next day. She fidgeted as she sat on her grandparents porch watching the sun set. She feared people would treat her different because of her family, her grandfather was the famous boy who lived after all. Ginny saw the fear in her granddaughter's face and sat down next to her. "
You'll be fine sweetheart. Let me tell you a funny story about your great grandmother and the summer after her first year. You could use a laugh."
Twelve year old Lilly became more comfortable now that Petunia was at least being civil to Jasmine, it was fortunate as she would be staying the remainder of the summer and ride to London to catch the train to Hogwarts. She feared her Petunia would do something stupid out of jealousy like she did the previous year when Lilly got her letter to Hogwarts and she did not. She feared that it may cause her new friend to never want to come back and visit her and her strange muggle family again and she could think of few things worse. The adjustment to the wizarding world had not come easy and she feared losing what she worked for.
"Why can't you make the flower bloom? Aren't you a witch too? It opened right up in Lilly's hand."
"I told you we aren't allowed to do magic outside of Hogwarts and the magic isn't for show anyway." Lilly reminded her angrily.
"Forget it. It is stupid anyway." Petunia said throwing down the rose bud. She had thought about it and there was one thing she was sure she could do better than her sister. Lilly might be able to fly but she could ride. She loved horses and wanted to eventually be good enough to compete, and Lilly never had any interest in large animals. "Let's go ride."
"Ride what?" Jasmine asked curious about muggle things.
"Never been on horseback?" Petunia asked smiling. "You can fly on a broomstick after all, it should be easy." She teased.
They made it to the stables and Petunia mounted quickly. Lilly hesitated. "Where are the saddles?"
"Not this time. We ride bareback. I am sure it is still easier than what you all can do. We never leave the ground after all."
Lilly helped Jasmine on and slowly got on herself. They walked slowly around the pasture. The witches were getting more comfortable and that was when Petunia decided she would show her skills. She took off at a gallop. The other two girls got comfortable with a trot when Jasmine's horse saw something and got spooked. He ran and Jasmine was thrown off guard. Without the reigns and her lack of experience she was unable to hold on and fell off. She hit the ground hard and her arm twisted behind her.
Lilly helped her up. "It looks broken." She pulled out her wand.
"You can't do magic here besides you're not a healer. Do you even know a spell that would work?" She was afraid.
Petunia called their mother and in minutes she was there along with paramedics.
Jasmine looked down at the red cast on her arm and shook her head in disbelief. Let the body heal itself. Muggles called this medicine? She would still have it when she got to Hogwarts and to make matters worse it was her wand arm.
"They will fix it immediately when we get back and your robe will cover it on the train." Lilly tried to comfort her. "Muggles can't know and we can't just go find another wizard."
"I know that Lilly but I can still be angry."
"Yeah" She agreed.
It was dark now. I assume it turned out okay? Jennifer asked
"It did. She got the best grade in muggle studies that year. Things turn out for the best. You will do fine. Let's get in side the train leaves early tomorrow.
